WITH WHICH " THE TIR,UE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. • Nee7 re: * ' '7 41 ,t14 • „ ~~,~ ~~~v LONDON : WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1938. In our columns of this day will be found an " Ad dress of the Sons of Liberty of Nlontreal" containing a list of grievances, and recommending the employment of physical force as the most effectual way of re dressing them ; and a letter from one of the leaders of the insurgents of Lower Canada giving an account of the origin and progress of the rebellion up to the 7th ult. With the statements and opinions contained in these documents we protest against being identified. The real grievances of the Canadians are as grossly exaggerated in the one, as the chances ofl their success enumerated in the other, are delusive. Our object in giving publicity to them is to afford the people of England an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the views of the individuals by whom the Canadians have been goaded on to take up arms against their SOVEREIGN. Certain Reformers have shown a strong desire for the last two or three days to run down the Meeting to be held at thz. Crown and Anchor to-morrow. A Liberal Contemporary asked if it "was to be an open or a packed one ?" He then published a letter from the Chairman of Mr. LEADER'S Committee, recom mending that persons should be placed at the door for the purpose of keeping cut all but West minster Electors ; and another letter, signed " An Old Reformer," appears in the same paper this morning, containing some very illiberal remarks about pot-house politicians, and " unwashed artificers." What folly and inconsistency for Reformers to look down now with such contempt on non-electors ! If Mr. ARBER, the builder, had read the advertisement, he would have seen that it had no more reference to the Electors of Westminster than to the " unwashed," and the attempt to make the meeting exclusive came with a very illgrace from the Chairman of the West minster Election Committee, who knows well how much the Candidates he has supported owed to the tone given by the non-electors on the nomination day. Would he have been the man to propose that none but electors should be admitted into Covent-garden Market ? No. He would have called on the electors to come forward manfully in the cause of freedom, and hold up their hands for the Liberal candidate, and when the multitude declared their decision by one una nimous shout, he would have claimed it as the voice of the electors, though two-thirds of the " gentlemen" were " pot-house" politicians, or belonged to a class far below " unwashed artificers." We disapprove, as much as any old Reformer, of any resolutions of an anti-national character, and have as little respect for the wicked arts of interested demagogues, as the best old Tory ; but the way to counteract these is not by excluding the multitude, or preventing discussion ; but by meeting these demagogues and their followers openly, with a view to enlighten the ignorant and defeat the unprincipled. Every British subject has an in terest in the Canada question, and not a few of the non-electors can give just as good a reason for the faith that is in them as the 101. householders. Battles have not been fought without the " unwashed." The sinews of war have not been strengthened without their contributions, and though they are not allowed to vote for Members of Parliament, we think they may be allow e d at least to meet with electors and discuss the policy of Government, without being stigmatised by " old R e f ormers. " If it were not for Mr. O'CONNELL, we really know not what poor old Sir FRANCIS BURDETT would do. He is a regular standing-dish with him—forms the sum and substance of all his speeches. Is he disposed to be jocular ? DANIEL is the constant theme of his mirth. Is he inclined to be declamatory and vitupera tive ? DANIEL is a never-failing theme for abuse and declamation. Does he attempt to be pathetic, when alluding to the state of Ireland ? DA NIEL is as effective as an onion, in extracting tears from his eyes. No matter what be the sub ject or the Hon. Baronet's discourse ; whether it be on the Poor-laws, or the Corn-laws, on Election Petitions, or Conservative patriots ; whether it be delivered within the walls of Parliament or without them ; whether it be Irave or gay, lively or severe—no matter, we say, what he the nature of Sir FRA NCIS'S speech, or where it he spoken, still DANIEL O'CONNELL, is sure to form the burden of it, to furnish every argument, and lend point to every out-burst of Billingsgate. He rings his name in the cars of his pet Conservatives, with as much tenacity of Purpose, as ever Hotspur rung the name of " Mortimer" in the ears of Henry the Fourth. Alas, for the poor Baronet I were any calamity— which may Heaven forefend I—to deprive Ireland of the services of her ablest defender—from that day be would be extinguished for ever as an orator, for his only remaining idea would be taken away from him. These reir.arks have been suggested to us by a perusal of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S last speech, which was delivered at a Stockport Conservative dinner on Monday last. In this notable oration an n .. sinus to Mr. O'CoNNELL occur in almost every other sentence. First, he is laughed at as a " shallow pre tender ;" next he is indignantly denounced as a " paid patriot ;" then he is held up as an object of alarm and horror, because he " supports Ministers ;" and lastly, we find him figuring as the brazen idol " Dagon," the very instant after he has been discovered to be nothin g more than " a great portentous bubble I" Now if this be really and truly the case ; if in the Hon. Baronet's opinion, O'CONNELL is merely a " bubble," is it not wonderful that a man of his years and worldly experience should allow himself to be so disturbed by hint ? We can understand an elderly gentleman being vexed and worried by a " chalk-stone" in his heel, be cause this is a substantial grievance ; but how he •can permit his digestion to be disturbed, his rest broken, and his temper soured, by " a mere bubble"— THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 3. 1838. this is what surprises us. On second thoughts, how I ever, we think we can account for the exleerhation of " Westminster's Pride, and England's Glory." He has himself been blowing bubbles all his life, and as these have burst one after the other, just at the moment when he was fancying they were making a goodly show in the eves of his countrvinen--the hare mention of the word " bubble," even though he himself gives it utterance unawares, naturally awakens a host of - n'Aasant associations in his mind. But passing this untoward allusion, what does Sir FRANCIS BURDETT mean by sneering at Mr. O.CoN NELL as a " patriot ?" Does he not remember the time when it was his own highest ambition to he a pa triot ?—when, in order to earn his right to that en vtahle designation, he graduated in the Tower, and spoke sedition by the hour, to any one who would listen to hitn —when nothing was too extravagant or chimerical in politics to meet his approbation—and this, not when the hot blood of youth ran riot in his veins, but when he was a gouty, middle-aged gen tleman, some forty years old and upwards ? The Hon. Baronet should be the very last person to taunt any one else with being a patriot, or, indeed, to make the slightest allusion to the phrase ; for if ever any one caricatured the patriotic character, and brought it into contempt by his own extravagances of conduct, he is that man. Don Quixote never threw more ridicule on knight-errantry, than Don BURDETT has thrown, for nearly half a cen tury, on patriotism. The truth is, he never had, and never will have, to his dying day, any fixed principles of conduct. His politics are not the result of reflection ; they are mere impulses— matters of caprice ; hastily adopted to-day, as hastily laid aside to-morrow. Just now he is all for the Con servatives; but we will lay a wager that, long before the session is ended, he will prick up his ears, and bray sonorously in praise of the Reformers. An article against the Ballot from that paragon of political consistency, the Times, will be found in our columns of this day. We had prepared some strictures upon it, which, from want of space, we are compelled to leave over till to-morrow. Our " wheel-about' . Contemporary gravely assures his readers that the Ballot cannot " secure perfect secrecy" to the electoral body. If this be so, wherefore do the corrupt Tories object to it ? Why stigmatise as cowardly and im moral a mode of voting which cannot be rendered secret ? But the Times knows the assertion of the non-secrecy of the Ballot to be as groundless, as his arguments against it are frivolous and contemptible. The Paris Journals of Monday have been received, but as it was a close holiday on the Bourse and in all public offices, their contents are politically unimpor• tant. The following brief extracts from them include the only paragraphs they contain interesting to an English reader : The Ministerial talons are making great boast at this moment of a new diplomatic triumph, the whole honour of which they give to the talents of M. Mole. The affair is nothing less than a complete recon ciliation between the Cabinet of the Tuileries and the Court of Rome, which is supposed to have made the first advances. The Pope is said to have promised the support of his influence, and even of his authority, to put an cud to the continued hostiiities of a part of the French Clergy towards the French Government. The recall of the titular Bishop of Nancy, M. de Forbin Janson, is already promised ; and the long vacancy which has occurred in the Archiepiscopal See of Lyons is also to cease. The Cabinet appears to attach an immense importance to this powerful mediation, by means of which it expects the complete pacification of the highest Clergy.—Siecle. The Constilutionnel publishes a letter of the 24th ult. from Madrid, which states positively that with the exception of Espartero, who re tains the war department, the entire of the Cabinet will be renewed. Count Toreno and M. Martinez de la Rosa, It is said, are to form part of the new combination, and Cordova is to be named Commander-in- Chief of the army of the north and Viceroy of Navarre. Alain is to replace the Baron de M2er in Catalonia, and the latter is to have the gos'emment of the island of Cuba. It appears that the Exaltados openly testify their dissatisfaction with the new Ministry, at whose accession even the British Ambassador, Sir George Villiers, is said to be greatly displeased, as he supported another combination, of which Cordova formed part, but which was set aside by the efforts of Toreno and Martinez de la Rosa. Count Ofalia was re presented by them to the Queen as a man likely to inspire Louis Phitiq e and the northern Sovereigns with confidence, and to obtain the grant of efLctual assistance for putting an ekd to the civil war. The Que n- Regent is said to have been decidedly in favour of Cordova, and Messrs. Olivan and Mon, notwithstanding the triumph oh tained by M. de Toreno f r his partizans. On the 22d the Movement party gave a splendid entertainment to General Cordova—a demm stration which contrasted singularly with the coldness shown to him by the moderate party and the Ministry, who seem to dread everything like rival influence. M. Soria had been appointed Governor of Madrid. Quiroga, Captain-General of New Castille, had been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-General. It was currently reported in Madrid that the main body of the Carlists would make an attempt upon the capital towards the end of January. The walls were in consequence being ac tively fortified, and different detachments of infantry arid cavalry had been directed upon Segovia." Letters and papers from Madrid of the 25th ult., have been received. The ex-premiers, CALATRAVA and MARTINEZ DE LA RosA, are at loggerheads about the causes of the disbanding of the French Fo reign Legion at Pau—the latter asserting that it was in consequence cf the revolution of La Granja, and the former offering to prove that it was strictly in accor dance with the established policy of Louis PHIL LIPPE, who never designed to send troops into the Peninsula. The substance of a clever, and in our opinion conclusive letter upon this important subject, addressed by CALATRAVA tO one of the leading Spa nish Journals, will be found in another part of The Sun. At no period since the commencement of the civil war did the King of the FRENCH intend to co operate actively with the Spanish Cabinet for the purpose of crushing the Carlist rebellion. On the contrary, his MAJE3TY, previous to the Revolu tion of La Granja, declared himself opposed to send ing any French troops across the frontier, though re peatedly importuned by M. THIERS and the Cabinets of London and Madrid to adopt such a measure. Fa tally for Spain, the King of the FRENCH has been uniformly consistent in his views regarding this sub ject ; and it is a grievous wrong to tax the Liberals with having occasioned the adoption of a line of po licy which was matured, and in full operation long be fore they had recourse to the realization of the nation's fervent aspirations—the recognition of the Constitu tion. A French army, 50,000 strong, would have crushed the rebellion in as many months as it has now lasted years. Spain, instead of being the theatre of fratricidal butchery, would be now in the enjoyment of peace—actively engaged in developing her vast re sources of social prosperity. But Louis PHILIPPE would never consent to so bold and decided a line of policy. He dreaded that so decisive a step would involve him in a quarrel with the Great Northern Powems, and he feared the influence which the sudden triumph of liberty in the Peninsula would have upon the inflammable feelings of the French Republicans. Such apprehensions were groundless, but they have had the effect of entailing upon Spain years of blood shed and misery. The fall of the new Cabinet is predicted in every quarter. ESPARTERO has refused the war depart went, well knowing that time sun of his greatness sets for ever the ins!ant he is removed from the head of the army. It is reported that CORDOVA, who is a Royal favourite, and supported by the influence of th e Ca marillo, w ill b e a pp o i nte d to a scat in the Cabinet. W e trust no such misfortune is reserved for the Spanish nation. Advices from the Spanish frontier reiterate and deny the report of the departure of the Carlist expedition towards Navarre. The correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, under date of the Bth instant, writes thus : " Notwithstanding the assertion that Basilio Garcia had passed the Ebro at the head of the Carhst expedition, I can assure you this has not been the case. There was merely a review on the 19th of eleven bat talions; of these eight were Castilians, two Arragonese, and one Va leneians. Tue battalions are from 300 to 000 strong, well equipped, but the men are wretched. ViAareal refuses sternly all the offers and advances of Don Carlos, expressing his indignation at the treatment re ceived by Zariategui, Eio, Torre, and Guibelalde. The division, or army, reviewed on the 19th, moved on the 21st, not over the Ebro, but towar.is Navarre, where the very Carlists are ready to declare against Don Carlos and his new Juntas. '1 he Cltristinos are standing u'i h their arms across, though the weather iz extremely fine." Opposed to this is the following statement %vb.:eh ap pears in the columns of the Phare de Bayonne : The new expedition, which the Pretender has organised and equipped with a rapidity that is not common, began its movement on the 2lst of this month. It left Amuerio under the command of Basilio Garcia, and is real'y composed of only Castliians and Aragonese. We have not yet been able to learn win they the 14 battalions reviewed at Llodio on the loth by the Pretender, had also marched under that commander, Gr whether some of them have been removed to be sent in another direc tion. All that we have learnt so as to leave no room for doubts is that Basilio Garcia proceeded on the abovemeationed day towards the Encartacioncs, aud that on the same day Castor Anderchaga made a movement towards Santander. It is hardly to be supposed that General Firmin Iriarte, who was at Batinaseda watching the move. merits of the troops composing the Carlist expedition, has been strong enough seriously to oppose the departure of liisilio Garcia. The small force under his command is evidently for - the purpose of observation only ; and it must, doubtless, be General Buerens, who is posted at Miranda with the' ied battalion, that will have to pursue the expedition into the Asturias or Old Castile." Of ESPARTERO movements actual or intended, we find no notice in the advices received from the Spanish capital. To the extreme Liberal party his co .duct aopcaLd very suspicious—and not without reason. Before Spain can assert her supremacy over all her enemies, she must remove him from the command of her Army. The new Minister of Finance, at the urgent request of Sir GEORGE VILLIERS, has trans nutted 5,000/. to San Sebastian for the use of the Officers aid men of the late British Auxiliary Legion. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Mr. Sergeant AILABIN and Mr. Alderman BIRCH took their seats upon the Bench :it nine o'clock, and disposed of several cases of larceny, which possessed no put.lic interest. At a quarter-p.ist ten Mr. Justice \Vitra/ors, Mr. Baron A I.DERSOM, and Mr Justice COLTMAN, attended by the Right Hon. the Loan MAvon, the Sheritis, and other Civic authorities, enter,il the Court. 31ANSI.4UGIITE:It ON Till: Hu n t Seas.—Juhrs Leggatt an,i William Ne4litt were placed at the Lai', on an indictment charging them with the manslaughter of John Brown, upon the high seas, in November last. Mr. C. PHILLIPS applie.l to the Court, on the part of the prisoners, for permission to withdraw their plea of " not guilty," and record that of " This p!ea having been recorded, Mr. CL.taksoN stated, that Legate was the Captain, and Nesbitt the first Mate of the ship Margaret, on her outward bound voyage to the West Indies. On the passage home, the vessel called at St. Andrew's. At that time, Brown, the deceased, was the only person on board who had gone on the outward voyage with the Captain and Mate. Before they arrived at St. Andrew's, Brown, had been taken ill; and he was placed its the hospital at St. Andrews. When the ship sailed, he was again taken tri bocril, it was presumed, in a state fit for hearing the homeward voyage, otherwise the hospital surgeon would hardly have allowed him to leave the hospitaL Nevertheless, he wa s in a very seri ously diseased state of health. It would appear that she Captain and the Mate had, from the commencement of the voyage, adopted the opinion, that Brown was endeavouring to avoid his duty—in other words, that he was a "skuiker." The consequence of that impression on their minds, was, that a course of proceeding was resorted to towards him, which in his then condition of health, expedited his death. He was exposed to the inclemency of the weather by the Captain's orders, who said that if ha would not work he should not cat, and, to make him work, had him placed on the open desk. He (Mr. Clarkson) must say, that if ordinary attention had been paid to Brown's state of health by the captain and mate, they might e'sily have found that he was not in a proper condition for work. 'There Wes no medical man on board. With these observa tions on behalf of the pasties who had sent the case here, and who had only in so doing discharge.l their duty, he (Mr. Clarkson) left the case in the hands of the Court. Mr. C. PHILLIPS said he had little to add to what had been most hu_ manely and considerately stated by Mr. Clarkson. He would merely re mark, that the impression upon the minds of the capta:n and mate, that the deceased was a " skulker," was warranted by the fact that he had been in the hospital and discharged by the surgeon, and sent by him on board as capable of doing his wcrk. Mr. Baron ALDERION—Does that appear upon the depositions ? Mr. l'itiLLtps—No, my Lord, but I can prove it. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I should like to hear it proved. Mr. l'inwps proce.ded ts, call Mr. George Roberts, ship.chandler, Blackwall, who had known the prisoner Leggatt for mile months, and gave him a very good character. M'Court, one of the seamen on board the Margaret on the voyage home, remembered the deceased being sent to the hospital at St. An drew's, and his being sent on board ahain. He came on board in a pilot boat. It was in the night. He was dressed in the ordinary sea men's dress —not wrapped up at all. 'I he witness could not say what time of the year it was. Deceased was treated kindly ; he had any. thing on board that was good for him. He had mutton broth and bar ley water. The ship was four weeks on her passage from St. Andrew's to Liverpool. The deceased died just before they arrived at Cork. Mr. Baron AtimasoN—l will read the depositions. If the deceased was ill treated, this is a very serious case. Mr. CLARKSON—It appears, my Lord, that the treatment which the deceased received was only to make him work. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—But I want to see whether the conduct of the captain and mate was that of humane man; if not, they have committod a very s:rious crime. Two gentlemen, one a clerk, the other a partner in commercial firms under %%hose superintendence the prisoner Leggatt had sailed, gave him a good character. 'I he sec. Ed mate of the Margaret, on her homeward voyage, and who had bien with Legg .tt on former voyages—one to the West Indies —spoke highly of his conduct as captain. CkAain M'Farlay, who had known Leggatt from boyhood, bore testi. mon y to his good temper and generally unexceptionable character. Mr. CLARKSON observed that no active violence had been used to wards the deceased. He had been, from time to time, desired to come out of the forecastle, upon the deck, and told to work; to which he replied that he was unable to work ; and this, it would seem, was frequently the truth. The Captain and Mate said he was skulking, and having passed around his person a rope, dragged him from the forecastle upon deck, and desired him to work. Upon declaring his inability to work he was sent to the helm. This teas often repeated ; and upon the day of the deceased's death, the 11th of 'November, he was brought up on deck. It further appe.ired from the evidence that deceased's body was much swollen. The nature of his illness did not exactly appear. On the day of his death he ate some meat and bread, as he had done on preceding days. Mr. Clarkson, in addition, stated to the Court, that had the trial been gone into, evidence would have been offered of a conversation between the Captain and the deceased, the former asserts that deceased was ab:e to work, because he had been sent onboard by the hospital surgaon, the deceased declaring that lie had been sent on board at the Captain's suggestion. Asssmr, WITH INTENT TO MAIM OR DISPIGURE, &E.-John An derson was indicted fur having assaulted his wife, with intent to maim, sastignre, s r disable. A second count stated it to be with intent to do some grievous bodi:y harm. It will easily be seen that the prisoner does not live with his wit, in the manner described by the fin, old song, " John Anderson, my Joe, John." It appears that on the Bth of Decemb r last, the parties ha ! been quarrelling at a public-house. On the pris_ner's coining Lorne he kicked his wife, and repeated the assault, after sli had become insensible. The injuries she received were not, however, very severe. Both the prisoner and his wife were in liquor at the time. The wife stated that, when sober, her husband treated her kindly. .Jury found the pri;on2r guilty o' a common assau!t. STEALING FROM THE I.ONIX:NMOCKS.— George Smith was indicted for ste ling some copper from the Londoo-dockv, where he was employed, th" proj erty of the London.dock Company, Mr. BA LI. ANTI'S proiccutcd— Mr. DOA NP: defended. The priso.ier via; stoppe.l by an officer nut far from the Dock?, and the copper found upon him The defence now set up was, that he got the copper outside of the ll)cici.—Verdict, Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the COMNION-SERGEANT.) William Lent, one of a numerous gang of pickpockets who infest Fleet-street, was charged with stealing a bilk hauakereliief from the pocket of a p..rson unknown. James Lightfoot, streetkeeper of Fleet-street, deposed that he saw the prisoner take the handkerchief from the pocket of a gentl.•man. lie immediately took him into custody, but the gentleman who was uncon. scioLs of his loss, had passed cu. The eridenc, of this witness was corn borated by that of another person, who was looking at the transac tion —Gui'ty. The CO,BION SERGEANT told Lightfoot that he might communicate t) the Fleet-street: gang that he would send the prisoner out of the c:iun'ry for ten yelrs. One of the metro; olitan police here communicated something to the L' mod Sergeant which induced him to have the prisoner recalled to the bar. He said " Why, prisoner, par and I have met before ? Don't you remember having attempted to pick my pocket one night when I was with Sir Peter Lawrie in Bow-street ? Piisaner (with a serious louk)—Ah,YOUr Honour has a good memory. The COMMCN SERGEANT —We let you go on that occasiun, but I pre_ mised you that we should meet again, and the fact is so. I had marked your sen'ence before I was aware of this circumstance, s > that will make no difference in your punishment. John Wilkins, aged 17, was indicted for embezzling two sums of 2s. W. and Is., the property of his toaster, Henry White. The prosecutor, who keeps on oil shop, deposed that the prisoner was his apprentice. In cuns?quence of some suspLions, he marked a half-crown and a shilling, with which two persons went to the shop and made purchases, and the money was afterwards found in the pri soner's pocket. Several witnesses corroborated this testimony, and the prisoner was found Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT said the system of shopmen and apprentice , . embezzling the property of their masters had been carried to such an extent that it Wa4 impossible honest tradesmen could live, and he was i:etermin, d to make an example of every case which came before him. Mary Benfield, 31, was indicted for stealing a pair of scales and scro tal weights, the property of Richard Marquison. The prisoner and her husband lodged at the prosecutor's house, and it was proved that she had pawned the property in question. In her defence she said her husband was unable to work from mid that they were in great distress. The prosecutor believed her statement to be true, and after the verdict of Guilty had been returned, j ine.i the jury in recommending her to mercy. The Court sentenced her to one month's imprisonment. James Fletcher, aged 18, a respectable-looking young man, was in dicted for stealing 19.5 yards of linen, value Hi. 95., three shawls, value V. 10s., two handkerchiefs, value 135., a veil, vane 143., GI yards of lawn, value 195., and other articles, the goods of John Wil:iams and another ; and Henry May, aged :27, was charged with. receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. Llewellyn Parry deposed that he was a shopman in the employ of Messis. Williams and Sowerby, of GI and 912, Oxfoid-street. The prisoner Fletcher, was also a shopman in the same warehouse. On the 11:h December, sonic articles being missed, witness charged Fletcher with having taken them, and he.admitted that he had stolen two shawls. A constable, who took Fletcher into custody, stated that on ques tioning him as to what induced him to rob his employers, he said he had beets tempted by the prisoner May, a shoemaker, who worked for the shopmen, and that he had sold the property to him. The witness then proceeded to May's lodgings in Long-acre, where he found the ar tick's laid in the indictment. A Pawnbroker in St Martin's-lane deposed that May was in the habit of pledging articles of that description at his shop. The prisoners, particularly Fletcher, received goal characters, and the jury found both Guilty, recommending Fletcher to mercy, The Condos SE.RuEANT said there was no doubt that Fletcher had been the dupe of May, and enquired what amount of limpet ty li a t c h er , a empl..yers Lad leg's, The witness I"“rry said he believed the amount was upwards of XlOl. Pagel!, 60, was indicted liar stealing a book. value Is. 6d., the property of Louisa Itothcry, six toothpicks, value I 55., the property of Martha Drew, and a sUrlit bott!e, va'ue Via, tld., the property of Mary Downes. • The proseculrix, in each case, kept rt stall in the Pantheon, Oxford stroet, and the prisoner was seen by Miss Rothery to take a book (coin her own stand, and then proceed to the others and carry oft' t::e articles named in Oa indictment. A reap cetable woman gave the prisoner a very good character. She hat seen better days, an.l had Wen formerly a governess. The CoussoN Sear:wry did not wish to press with mue'l severity upon the unfortunate , voinan, but the r:spectable young ladi,s who were endeavouring to supp,rt the.n.elves at these Bazaars must also be pro. tected. Edward M'llak w ai indicted for stealing 15th;. of lead, the Property of John Townsend. The Court then adjourred for an hour, to bring up the pr:soners a,gainst whom bills had been found. SURREY SE. , SToNS.—TRIS DAY. Thomas Rernall, a stupid looking countryman, war in d i cted fur steal. lug seven ploughshare points and a buck, the property of Mr. Loveloch and Mr. Russell, farmers, in the parish of Coulstou, On the lath of December, the prisoner was stopped . at Croydon by the constable. He had a large parcel with him, which he saki contained ohl horse shoes. The constable looked into thin parcel, and found the property named in the indictment. He had traced the pro, pert y to have been taken from the two farmers name.l. They could not swear to the property, Lut had lost such things on the previous day. Verdict—Guilty. Sentenced to three months' hard labour in Brixton House of Correction. ATANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) A plwerful and frrotious-loaing loan, called Charles Croucher, was charged before the Limn 31Av0r. with I:rossly.assaulting a woman. Thomas Sandan, watchman of Vintry Ward, was informed last night, about six o'clock, that a man was ill using a woman. On going to the place indicated he found the prisoner quarrelling with a woman. He did lint strike her in witness': presence, but he took her velvet bonnet in his great fist, and crushed it into the size of an apple. 1 he womaa had been seen in the office, but when called did not come forward. . . The LORD MAYOR Supposed that she wa3 afraid of the prisoner; but lie would teach him not to lay his great hands upon a poor woman. Ho would remand him till tomorrow, when the officer must produce the woman. On this decision being given, Budget Gibbins came forward. She sail t he was an unfortunate woman, and had known the prisoner about fifteen months. He had cohabited with her, and she was unable to get quit of him. She had often shut him out, but he broke windows and shutters until he got in; and he never brought home any of his earnings. The Loan 31.1voit supposed that such would be the way, and inquired if he often abused her. Witne,s said that he followed her all about the streets, and frequently assaulted her in the most violent way. He wa• quite sober last night. The Lard MAYOR said suet conduct must be put an end to. The prisoner was held to bail. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) AMUSEMENTS AT THE PANTOMIMES. — Three of the light-fingered in habitants of " Rat's Castle," St. Giles's, named James Harrison, Mar tin Kennedy, and John O'Brien, were placed at the bar, by Culver, a police constable of the F division, who stated, that about eleven o'clock last night he found the prisoners amusing themselves by attempting to pick the pockets of several gentlemen, at the entrance to Drury Lane Theatre, and, on searching them, it was discovered they hL.d, within a very short time posse sad themselves of four " vipers,' one of which was highly perfumed. There were five others in company with the pri soners, but they succeeded in making their escape. He was well ac quainted with the persons of the younger prisoners, who constantly were to be seen Irking about Drury-lane at night with other thieves. O'Brien said that he was by no manner of means guilty of the charge, and that he had just at the moment crossed over the way to see what brought the others into trouble ; and as to the Bandana, he had it round hi. neck, and it had been girt n to him by his father. Mr. TWYFORD o dered each of the prisoners to be sent to hard la bour in the House of Correction for three calendar months. AN A unamotts Tutee.—James Adams was charged by Wm. Holiday with the following impudent robbery : The complainant, who is a tailor, stated that about seven o'clock last evening, he was at work in his shop, in the Turnstile, Holborn, and hearing the string by which a frock-coat was suspended snap, he ran to the door, and detected the prisoner deliberately walking away with it. On questioning him why he could be guilty of such an offence, he coolly replied that a person running along broke the string, and as he hap pened to come up at the moment, and could know nothing of the right owner of the article, he considered there was no great harm in lifting it from the ground and walking away with it. The prisoner said the occurrence was entirely accidental, and was fully committed for trial. ROBBERY IN LINCOLN'S INN.—A powerful looking man, named Ro bert Greeves, was charged on suspicion by William Reynolds end James Baker, watchmen in Lincoln's Inn, with stealing a quantity of lead from the top of the water-closets the property of the Society of Benchers. It appeared that, on the '2d September, a quantity of lead, amount ing to 80Ib., had been cut away from the roofs, and as a person resem bling the prisoner had been obsorved by the complainant and people re siding in the neighbourhood on the premises the same day, a suspi cion fell on him, but he could not be met with until this morning. The prisoner denied the charge, anal said he was at Bartholomew Fair on the day in question. He was remanded till Saturday next. SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE, DONCASTER MEETING, 1838. ENTRIES AT YORK.

Good-conditioned Wheat sold at 111. - ...nday's l rices. Fine Barley also sold at previous rates; inferior descriptions secured little business. Oats sold well at last market prices. Beans and Peas heavy of sale, but not lower. In Bonded Wheat aed Flour nothing gassing of moment. AhItiVALS Wheat_ Barley. Opt, J Fli mi ur Enevrh Irl.h . Forelen 4 NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

TEA SALE-(THIS DAY.) As this sale progresses, the difficiety of keeping up the prices in. crease; and their tendency is still dovrnwards. Very little, indeed, is sold ; and the sal, is expected to finish this week. The attei.dance of the trade continues fair. HOP MARKET. Prices unvaried from Monday, and but little basinesi doing. TALLOW MARKET. P.Y.C. today is rather higher, and the quotations 455. lid. to 455. 9d., and there is more animation. OIL MARKED. There was no change last night ; a better demand for most sort of Fish Oils. The animation is sustained to-day, and prices are full as high as ever they have been since the fire. Cod is quoted at 441. to day ; Southern, 311. to 37/. ; Sperm, 801.; Pale Seal, 46/. ; Seed Oils are unaltered, but in good demand. COLONIAL MARKETS—(THIS DAY.) There is not that life in these markets that was expected. Every branch is at present very steady, and nothing whatever doing for specu lation. British Plantation Sugar continues dull, and priced without variation. Up to when we lett, the market, ranging from 60s. 6d. for Brown; 653. 665. for middling, up to 635. for fine. The stock is 17,877 hhds. and tierces, against 30,945 at this time last year. This deficiency does not arise from less imports, but from greater consumption. Refined Sugar still fetches 38s. 6d. to 395., for fine crushed. East India and Foreign are without variation. MAURITIUS.—There was a sale today of 4,164 bags, which was pro_ greasing when we left ; prices then were from, 545. to 58s. for brown, and 58s. 6d. to 663. for low and fine yellow. COFFEE of all kinds continue at former prices, except Brazil, which is lower. We have no public sales to.day; but by private contract there is a good business doing. The stock of B. P. is 3,360 casks, 1,242 barrels and Lags; Ceylon, 26,241 bags ; Mocha, 6,076 bales; Brazil, 25,433 bags. SPICES.—The only commodity in which anything is doing is Pepper, and prices are looking up.. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET. The importations of Grain since our notice of Friday's business are somewhat limited, but the arrivals of Oatmeal and Flour are abundant. On yesterday and Saturday several transactions were effected in Wheat, the prices of which were slightly in favour of holders, but no change occurred either in the demand or value of other articles. There was a fair muster of town and country dealers as well as millers at this day's market, who bought rather liberally of Wheat. Some extensive sales were made in both new and old Irish, at an improved figure, say 2d. per 701bs. more than could have been obtained Friday last. Barley and Malt remain stationary as to value, but the demand is brisker ; the same remark applies to Beans and Peas. Flour also met a fair sale, at Is. per sack advance on late rates. Oatmeal likewise ascended in price Oct per 9.401b5., and this article, as also Oats, were taken off the market freely. LligliSh, White, per 701 b. R7O 8 0 .

We do not find any arrivals at Liverpool from the Brazils. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. • We have no arrivals this morning of the least importance, with the exception of the French mail and an express from Paris; consequently the current report which prevailed yesterday afternoon and which caused a panic in the Brazilian Stock (with a fall of I; to 6 per cent.) must have been an invention for some stock.jobbing purpose, THE FUNDS. At the opening of the Foreign Market this morning, a reaction took place in the Brazilian Stock, and it reached 73; at present may be quoted 724; Spanish Active, 194 with Coupons; Portuguese, 291; Three per Cents.. 19}; Dutch Two-and-Half per Cents , , 54 to -1 ex. dividend ; Mexican, '25 to 264; Colombian, 234 to 24.

From Liverpool accounts received this morning state that the Courier, Nelson, arrived there in eighty dais from Valparaiso.

The Market at present has not a firm appearance. We have this moment received the Liverpool Cotten-Market, of yesterday's date, with the Liverpool Paper, stating that Jamaica ac. counts had been received to the 28th Nov., that the House of Assembly, which on Nov. 14 had considered Lord Gleneig's suspension of the various Local Acts to be an infringement of the pr:vileges of the Legislative body, had been wavering in their operations con cerning his Lordship's thspatch : they were inclined to proceed with the pending measures, which Lord Glenelg ani madverted upon. Their first intention was to lay aside all business until they had treated Lord Glenelg's dictation, as it deserved, with their utmost contemptuous reprehension. At last, alter much di scuss i on on the elOetion law, they came to a unanimous agreement not to proceed with those Bills alluded to in his Excellency's message.

It was soon fuund, however, that there was not the slightest ground for alarm, and that, in fact, there was on arrival from any part of Brazil of a recent date, so that the marktt won reacted, and at the termination of the UPU3I hour of business it was quoted at 701 to but it was done afterwards at 72, and those who were the prin. cipal se lers at the commencement of the fall were ti.e most desirous to purchase at the close, evidently showing that the whole was the effect of unnecessary apprehension. Our contemporary of the Morning Post it attempting, it would seem, to throw out insinuations against the motives of Mr. Jones Loyd, whose able exposure of the mismanagement of the currency by the Bank of England is now making so great an impression in the monetary world. " Mr. Loyd," says our contemporary yea. terday, " is a partner in one or snore of the most extensive Nanking-houses in England. It is equally ne.l known that there is a direct collision between the Bank of England branches and the Manchester concern, The truth is, that all the attacks on the Bank or Eng'and proceed from a more or leg In. terestcd source." Nothing, we confidently believe, can be snore un just or unfounded than this charge against Mr. Lloyd, who has no in. terest whatever in opposition or " collision" with the interests of that Bank. The head of the extensive banking estala'ishment of Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co., gave most important evidence before the Ccm. mittee of the Ilouse of Commons upon the Bank Charter, and we have looked in vain for one syllable of anything resembling animosity or col lision of interests in the examination of this gentleman as contained in the Report. On the contrary, he ref rs to some facil.ties aftbrded by the Bank of England in the transmission of gold to the country, receiv. able at the branches without charge to the party in whose favour it ro3y have been paid into the metropolitan bank, and generally manifests disposition to weigh most fairly the whole merits and defects of the Bank. Considering that at that period the fate of the Bank of England was at stake, these accusations are not a very fair or grateful return for the services of a party whose contrary testimony would have been so powe. ful in opposition to the renewal of the Charter of the Bank. The feeling in the city unquestionably is, that Mr. Loyd has been only by far too courteous towards the direction of the Bank, and his exposures of the gross mismanagement of that institution are considered the more valuable, proceeding from a gentleman of so much unquestionable ta lent, mans of information, and truly palriotic and independent mind. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) Much surprise has been manifested at the fall of plies of Bank Stock, for which different reasons have been assigned. The true cause is, that ever since the last bonus made by the Bank, they ha a been almost continually a losing concern. That bonus left a rest of 5,736,0901., which has now dwindled down to 2,706,0001.; showing in that period a loss of 3,030,090 t Vide their own accounts published in the Bank Report, Appendix No. 5, and the monthly ac. counts subsequently published in the Gazelle. The Morning Post of the Ist instant, in the City article, says the Bank is now in a safer position than before. True, in the same sense that a trader, whose business is falling off, is safe, because he has less goods on hand. Goods being to him what securities are to the Bank, the means by which profits are made; but he makes no profits, and is obliged to do as the Bank now does, to pay his expenses out of his capi. tal, by which he bzcomes poorer every succeeding year. If reference be made to the Bank Report, Appendix No. 5, and the mo:.thly accounts in the Gazette, it will be found that the amount of securities held by the Bank, by which they make their profits, are, with the exception of the years 1821, 2,3, and 4, less now than they have been for 33 years past. At one time in that period the amount was 48,000,0001., and now the amount is under 23,000,0001. ; consequently they are making less profits ; and this is the cause that since their last bonus their rest has decreased more than three millions (presumptive evidence that the dividends are not entirely paid out of accruing profits). If the Bank Proprietors will take the trouble to watch the accounts published monthly in the newspapers, copied from the Gazette, they need no other information as to how matters go on at the Bank of Eng land ; and unless much more favourable accounts are published, it will be impossible to continue the present rate of dividend, the rest having decreased in the short space of eight months (that is, from 4th April last to 12th December last), to the amount of 584,000/., as per published ac. counts in the Gazette. (From the Herald.) Considerable excitement has prevailed amongst the holders of Bra. zilian Stock, in consequence of rumours being very freely circulated that an insurrection had broken out in the province of Maranham, with a view to the declaration of independence ; but for which, on the strict. eA inquiry, we do not find the slightest foundation. In fact, our last dates from Rio Janeiro come down to the 13th of November, and, as Maranham is nearly 30 days' sail from that port, it is almost impossible that any new intelligence should have arrived. It will, however, be seen from our quotations that this rumour has caused fluctuations to the extent of nearly 6 per cent. Our Money Market presents no particularly new features ; money for commercial purposes, and on the Stock Exchange, still commands a higher rate of interest. In the Foreign Exchanges the business still continues to be limited; but in most instances the rates between this country and the Continent fully maintain their last quotations. On Paris they rule at 25f. 85c., a 25f. 90c. ;on Amsterdam at 12 8 to 12 4 ; on Rotterdam at 12 4 a 12 4 1 4 ; and on Harhburgh at 13. (From the limes.) The period having expired yesterday within which notice was to be given at the India - housc by those proprietors of bonds, desirous of ex. changing them, under the notice of 15th of November last, for new bonds bearing interest at 3 per cent., It appears that out of 3,520,0001., which is the total amount of bonds in circulation, appli. cations have been made for such exchange to the extent of nearly 3,200,0001. According to the rule laid down by the Company that 1,760,000/. of that debt is to be absolutely paid off and extinguished. the parties can obtain little more than half of the amount for which they have made application. The apportionment will be fixed im mediately, and those bonds which are to be exchanged, will be so marked. The payment in money of the remainder will take place on the 30th of June next. By the advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 434 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for stand: and gold, gives an exchange of 13. 94, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 10, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. lower at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 811 per Mille, which, at the English ?dint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex.. change of 25. 361, and the exchange at Paris on London at shod being 25. 521, it follows that gold is 0.64 per cent, lower at Paris than in London. The Congo' Market owned this morning with increased animation, and considerable purchases were made by the party for the rise. The first price asked was 92a, and they were subsequently done at 921, but Consols finally closed at 921 as the nearest quotation. In the after part of the day they were somewhat affected by the reported unfavour able intelligence from Brazil. Bank Stock was 2041 to 205 ; India Stock 2661 to 2671 ; Exchequer Bills at 21d. per day, 465. to 485., at 2d. per day, 445. to 465. ; and India Bonds 255. to 275. premium. In the afternoon the attention of the jobbers in the Foreign.house was attracted by some sales in Brazilian securities, which, although to no large amount, had the effect of causing an extraordinary fall in them of nearly 6 per cent. The closing prices of last evening were 74i, which► were maintained with little variation until the latter part of the day, when they rapidly declined to 69, rallying however at the close of busi ness to 701 to I. There were various reports in circulation to account for this fall, the most general of which was the receipt of intelli gence of another insurrection at Maranham, brought by a vessel to Ho lyhead. Several letters received in the city by the second train from Li verpool, frcm houses having establishments at Maranham, make no Whs_ sion to any particular political occurrences there, excepting in one in stance mentioned on 'Change, where it was stated, a letter thus received slightly alluded to news from Maranham, which it was presumed the correspondent had also heard of from Falmouth. According to this ver sion, the inte.ligence ofthis insurrection must havi s been brought by a Portuguese vessel to Portugal, where at this season the arrivals from Brazil are frequent, and from thence by a steamer to Falmouth. Por. tuguese 5 per Cents. left off at 291 to I ; the 3 per Cents, at 19 to 1. Spanish active, 191 tot ex.coupons ; Mexican 251 to 61 ; Colombian, 23/ to 4 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. 521 to ex dividend ; the 5 per Cents., 101 to 1. Shares were not so brisk as yesterday, and prices rather re. ceded. London and Birmingham were 68 to 70, and Great Western I to 12 premium. Southampton old, 44 to 13 discount; the new shares, 12 to 13 premium ; new Brighton, 31 to 4 per share. The subjoined, as an official notice, must be considered a great cu riosity. The President of the Republic of New Granada, in raising the question what form of instrument should be adopted with the money remitted to England for the payment of the dividends, will seem to the unfortunate creditors, in doing so, to add one more to the numerous evasions which have already been practised; to defer or to avoid the assignment of any funds whatever for their benefit, Any of his agents or any private m,rchant could at once have answered it, and referred to the uniform practice in such cases, by saying, that for a temporary de. posit, there is no security which can co.npare with English Exchequer bills. The reference to the public for an ivinion can only be meant' tor gain further time. (From the Bogota Gazette of Oct. 1, 1837.) " The law of the 27th of May, 1836, which appropriated fund* for the payment of the public debt, ordered that they should be remitted to. England, and deposited in the rank there. " This deposit may be made in money or Exchequer bills. " In the first case no benefit is derived from interest. " The va"ue of the bills varies continually, because the premium or discount at which they are sold depends on the amount of interest they will yield in comparison with that of the other public funds. " The President of the Republic, who will soon make arrangements for remitting the sums at present in the General Treasury, and after wards other funds as they are collect,' for the payment of the public debt, is desirous of inviting public discussion on this affair of common interest, that he may benefit by the opinions of those who may think tit to . ddress him cn the subject." (From the Post.) An unpleasant sensation was produced in the Foreign Stock Market to-day (Tuesday), by a report which had obtained very general cur. rency in the City of intelligence of an unfavourable nature having been again received from the Brazils, but which would appear, from all we can learn upon the subject, not to have been well founded. The go. neral understanding seemed to be, that the late insurrectionary pro ceedings at Bahia had been followed by a similar movement at Maran_ ham, and, until it was ascertained that the most eminent houses in the Brasil trade were ignorant t any change having takers place in the quarter referred to, Brazilian Stock declined rapidly in the Market. The highest price quoted for it during the day was 74i, and the lowest 691, showing a &predation, within the br.ef space of a few hours only, of 5 per cent. Let ters from Paraiba to the 24th, and from Pernambu,a, via Paraiba, to the 15th of November, were received in town this morning, but no mention whatever is made in them of any fresh disturbances having broken out in that part of the Brazilian empire. On the contrary, they' are of a most satisfactory tenor, as well with regard to politics as to commerce. No advices seem to have been obtained from any other part of Brazil, and well.intormed persons in town are in the meanwhile disposed to hope that matters will be quietly settled at Bahia upon the ar rival there of the new President from Rio. The most diligent inquiries were made on 'Change as to the truth or falsehood of the rumours so indus-, triou,ly propagated in the course of the day, and, had there been any foundation for them, they would doubtless have been eventual) eon firmed. They were, however, sufficiently negatived by the rate of ex change on Rio, which underwent no variation. Much soliclrude is felt by the Bondholders with respect to the payment of the dividends, and it is possible that the tall of to-day may have been caused by some raffia' extensive sales made in consequence, and by certain vague sur mises which such transactions at such a moment are calculated to pro duce. The market rallied in a trifling degree before the close of bushiest.
